The City of Kalona will present their application later this month for projects utilizing Washington County Riverboat Foundation (WCRF) funds in the next fiscal year.
City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh says they have until January 22nd to submit their plans on how they will use about $140,000 in WCRF municipal funds. He says two park projects top their list, “We are looking to do an all-inclusive playground in our Kalona City Park that would be designed to ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards and be inclusive and usable for those that might be in a wheelchair, for example. We would like to build a small playground area that would be inclusive for that. And we have a dog park and frisbee golf (course) out at Southtown that we would like to start.”
